United Natural Foods – or UNFI – announced last week that it has acquired the Minnesota-based grocery store chain SuperValu for $2.9 billion. This purchase gives UNFI access to 3,323 wholesale stores. UNFI has also bought SuperValu’s retail division, which includes stores such as Cub Foods and Shoppers. This purchase is part of a broader trend of consolidation in the grocery and food distribution industries.
